First-year Hogwarts students have a total of eight courses, including Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, History of Magic, Astronomy, Charms, and the most anticipated flying class.

The next day, Norlin washed up and left the dorm with Smith. The first class was Snape's Potions class, which Norlin had a lot of interest in.

"Hey, Nolin, you know what." Smith leaned into Nolin's ear, looked around, and whispered, "I've heard that Professor Snape is very strict with people in other houses, and he likes to pick on people. ”

"Yes." Norin was a little surprised, how could this product have gossip so quickly, and it was quite accurate.

"Of course." "I've heard that he's always wanted to be a professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, but he hasn't been able to do so." ”

"Perhaps." Norin secretly slandered in his heart, this person is definitely a good hand as a spy.

The two walked down the stairs while chatting. There are a hundred and forty-two staircases at Hogwarts, some of them wide and large, some narrow and small, and wobbly. Some go to different places every Friday; Some of them go up halfway up, and a staircase will suddenly disappear, and it would be nice if you couldn't remember where to jump over. Rao is Norlin can't write down all the rules in a short period of time.

But it's not a problem to write down the directions to the restaurant. After breakfast, the two hurried to the Potions classroom.

"Which house are we taking classes with today?" Norlin asked casually.

"Slytherin." Smith said without thinking.

When Norin heard this, the face of the girl on the train appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

The Potions classroom is an underground classroom, which is much colder than the castle building above. Norin and Smith walked all the way, finding that it was too late, so they simply trotted up, and finally stepped into the classroom at the last second of the bell.

"Maybe you should be a little more punctual in your sense of time, huh...... Mr. Davis, and Mr. McCaw. Snape took a roll of parchments, looked at it twice, and said gloomily, "Ravenclaw deducts five points." 5 points for one person. ”

The people in the church looked at each other sympathetically.

"I ......" Smith was anxious, and opened his mouth to argue, but was stopped by Norlin.

"Got it, Professor. Be sure to pay attention next time. Norlin said calmly.

Snape looked at him twice, his eyes cold and hollow, like two dark tunnels. He said no more, turned and walked onto the podium.

"Hey! Why ......" Smith said in a low and eager voice.

"Looks like your intel is correct." Norlin found two empty desks and sat down to observe the classroom.

"Then we are the first people to be deducted points since the beginning of the school year." Smith wept and mourned.

The atmosphere in the classroom was depressing, and the glass jars along the walls were soaked in a variety of unknown animal specimens, which made people shudder. From time to time, the air is filled with inexplicable gases, which are formless and odorless. Above the podium, an ancient table clock squeaks.

"You're here to learn the exact science and rigors of this potion configuration." Snape spoke, his voice low and obscure, with the power to keep the classroom in order without much effort,

"Since there is no stupid waving of a wand here, many of you will not believe that it is magic. I don't expect you to really grasp the beauty of the smoky and fragrant cauldron that simmers, and you don't really understand the magic of the liquid that flows into people's veins, the magic of the mind and the will that is blurring. I can teach you how to increase your prestige, brew glory, and even stop death—if you're not the kind of fool I often encounter. ”

The classroom was silent. Norlin could clearly see the fanatical expressions on the faces of many people, and the Slytherin people showed even more obvious expressions, their eyes glinting, and they looked eager to try.

Norin's eyes searched the classroom and found Elena in the corner on the right. She still had no expression on her face, untouched by Snape's words, just silently unaware of what she was thinking.

"So, let's start with the simplest question." Snape paused, looked around, and said, "Can anyone tell me what the fire ant grass does?" ”

"Ablation agents are furious, good material." Not far in front of him, Zhang Qiu spoke.

"Barely to the point." Snape said noncommittally, without commenting too much, "What do you get by adding narcissus root powder to wormwood infusion?" ”

Norin looked at Snape quietly. When he asked this question, an extremely dark and complex light quickly slipped from his inky pupils. Norlin sighed softly.

"A very potent sleeping pill." A bespectacled Slytherin boy said quickly. The corners of his mouth were upturned openly, and he looked extremely proud.

"Not bad, Mr. Carlo." Snape, who had always been extremely stingy with praise, gave some verbal concessions to the students of his own house, and then suddenly changed his tone and shouted fiercely, "Why didn't you write those down just now?" ”

The sound of the quill in the classroom sounded quickly. Smith scratched his ears and cheeks, desperately flipping through the book, obviously he didn't pay much attention to the answer just now, and could only make up for it from the textbook.

"Well, one last little question." Snape said in a deep voice, "What is a maple?" ”

There was silence. Zhang Qiu's face looked very dazed, obviously he had never read the slightest bit of this in books. The Slytherins' eyes were rolling, and they could see that they wanted to answer the question, but couldn't do anything about it. Norlin looked amused and put his head on the textbook on the table. He didn't bother to be a bird.

However, the smile was caught by Snape's sharp gaze. Snape sneered and walked over to Nolin's desk, pulled out his wand and knocked on the table with a "thump" sound. Norlin looked up, meeting Snape's indifferent eyes.

"Mr. Davis, I think you must have something to know about it." Apparently Snape interpreted Norlin's earlier laugh as mockery.

Want to me? The thought flashed through Nolin's mind, and he stood up to meet his gaze: "Acer spp., dicots, belonging to the Acer family, deciduous tree, with 3 to 5 lobes in a single leaf, extremely long central lobe, winged fruit horn-shaped, endangered. ”

Snape was stunned for two seconds, then walked back to the podium and added coldly, "It's an excellent main ingredient for making psychedelic potions." Sit down. ”

Norlin sat down. Smith next to him opened his mouth wide and said incredulously, "Oh my God, how do you know this?" I've never heard of it! ”

How do you know? This is my Dahuaxia thing...... Norin thought with a reluctant smile, feeling a little depressed.

"Mr. McCaw, I don't think I need to stress more about classroom discipline, and yet Ravenclaw will be deducted five points for your whispering."

Smith was dumbfounded. His eyes glazed over, and it took him a while for anger to emerge.

The Potions class continued. Snape divided the two houses into groups and instructed them to mix a simple potion for scabies. The bubbling cauldron was steaming hot, and Snape dragged his long black cloak around the classroom, watching them call dried nettles and crush snakes' fangs, almost all of the students had been criticized, and the Slytherin were no exception. It was only in front of Norlin and Smith's crucible that Snape looked and sniffed and sniffed before he made a dry comment: "Barely qualified." ”

Norlin disagreed, and then steamed the slugs with tentacles, his hands surprisingly steady.

An hour later, they walked down the stairs out of the basement classroom. As soon as he reached the ground, Smith couldn't wait to yell out, "It's not fair! Why didn't he give you extra points for your performance so well, but deducted us 15 points for some trivial things! ”

"Don't worry, McCaw, we won't blame you, maybe one day we will be deducted points for some inexplicable reasons." Zhang Qiu, who was passing by, said with a smile, "Nolin, today's performance is really cool!" ”

"Thank you." Norin waved at her and said to Smith, "This kind of thing, just get used to it, for Potions class." Let's go, what's the next lesson? ”

"Transfiguration class." Smith muffled that it was not easy to let go so quickly. But Norlin obviously didn't care very much, and he had no choice but to give up.
